M35 transmission fluid cooling.

[Tastagea]

so i need to remove the radiator from my 250t rs four which has been converted into a 6 speed manual out of a 350z.

it is still using the stock radiator so it has lines going into the radiator for cooling the transmission from when it was an auto.

So, are the transmission lines connected at the bottom to the two brass fittings? (photo attached for reference)

 

these have nothing attached to them so i am not sure what they are for, other than that.

i think i may be mistaking the transmission fluid lines for something else as the lines I want to remove  are on the passengers side of the radiator and coming off the side of it.

this photo shows the lines i need to remove. 

 Any help would be appreciated. 

cheers

Yep those fittings at the bottom are for transmission, if you have gone manual just ignore and enjoy. Your engine will run cooler now.

just double checking as on the manual it says they are cvt fluid cooler hoses. cheers

You no longer have CVT (continuously variable transmission) so not sure what you are worried about buddy. I have put a 300zxTT auto in my skyline and have installed a large cooler and i'm not using the little standard trans heater in the standard radiator. Maybe you are overthinking this.

The new radiator you have is an automatic radiator, it is common practice to supply this radiator as a replacement part for manual vehicles, It saves stocking Two types of radiator in their store.

The last photo you posted up with the “These lines ———->” on it looks like an air conditioning condenser not a radiator?

Think the photo is before he disassembled it

Yeah thats a condenser nothing to do with auto the auto cooler is behind that on other side.

If you want to keep air conditioning remove that single fan, then remove that condenser and I hope there is a fitting on your new radiator to bolt it back on, Then reassemble and reconnect the lines from the compressor and take to aircon specialist for regas.

If you vented that condenser to atmosphere you have unintentionally become an environmental vandal.
